"Because the officer who was recently transferred to Scotland Yard learned about my relationship with Senior Gregson, and he said something like 'it's not easy to have such an active mind', so he helped me get promoted from a trainee police officer to a full-time officer."
"Then the so-called [Jack the Ripper Serial Murder Case] occurred in our area. If I skip work to look for someone at this critical moment, the officer would probably be disappointed..."
As she said this, she seemed to have some respect for the new officer from Scotland Yard.
However, Conan couldn't think of any police officer in the original work who could do this.
As for Gregson...if he remembered correctly, he seemed to be a colleague who often opposed Sheriff Lestrade.
I didn’t expect that in this story, I would advance directly from a colleague to the level of a senior...?
"Ms. Gina, I suspect that the [Jack the Ripper serial murders] are related to the disappearance of Sherlock Holmes."
"Otherwise, how could the [Baskerville Hound Incident] that led Holmes away happen at the same time?"
"This incident... was clearly solved by Dr. Baosheng and Mr. Holmes working together, wasn't it?"
Conan brought the topic back to the Jack the Ripper serial murders.
No matter what, he must first get to the crime scene where Jack the Ripper committed the crime.
Otherwise, let alone bringing Jack the Ripper to trial, even finding Jack the Ripper won’t be possible!
The Death God pupil had a serious expression.
"I think the sudden appearance of Jack the Ripper, a cruel killer, is most likely a conspiracy by the professor."
"No matter how you think about it, in this (game) environment, only the professor can create such a murderer."
"…Only the Professor?"
For some reason, Officer Lestrade seemed hesitant, which made Conan narrow his eyes.
He felt very strange because the professor, as the main villain in the Sherlock Holmes stories, was almost the scapegoat among the fans.
Although he didn't know whether the Hound of the Baskervilles incident was really related to the Jack the Ripper serial murders.
However, it is certainly right to put the blame on Professor Moriarty first and guide the story back on track.
Could it be that the Holmes in this game scenario has not yet come into contact with Moriarty?
Or did Sherlock Holmes investigate Moriarty without ever mentioning it to Officer Lestrade?
Conan was caught off guard by the presence of Officer Lestrade.
His little face was full of surprise for a moment, as if he was hit by a huge shock.
Professor Moriarty died ten years ago? Does that mean Holmes has already experienced the Reichenbach Fall?
How could the current time be the end of the 19th century? Did Noah's Ark adjust the timeline?
Just when the atmosphere between the few people reached a stalemate, a cough was heard.
They all turned to look at Hosou Reito, who seemed half dead but should have been dead long ago according to the actual situation.
The doctor, who had managed to keep the patient alive by some unknown means despite being shot straight at the heart, opened his eyes.
His eyes surprised Haibara Ai a little, because she didn't seem to see the slightest bit of anger or fear.
On the contrary, the other party seemed to be happy about something, but how could anyone in the world be happy about being shot?
"...cough, cough, cough... The Professor is dead, there is no doubt about it..."
Hosou Reito coughed twice, and with the help of Haibara Ai, he struggled to sit up and leaned against the wall. His eyes fell on Gina, and a bit of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"...I told you that you are smarter and more special than other children..."
"...But there is no shortage of geniuses in this world. There is no need to hide it so strictly..."
Although Reito Hosou did not say the name, Conan vaguely felt that he was talking about him.
The Elementary School Student of Death shook his head. How could he tell Baosheng Reito that he was not just a genius boy.
But is it the product of the rejuvenation of the once famous high school detective Kudo Shinichi?
"...The reason why I didn't die from the gunshot and am still awake now is because of the plot..."
"...Noah's Ark has arranged me as an important plot character in this game from the very beginning..."
The doctor said unbelievable words, and Conan subconsciously looked at Officer Lestrade beside him.
However, Officer Lestrade did not seem to hear these words. He just looked at them in a daze.
"...To make a long story short, in order to prevent me from completing the game, Noah's Ark will increase the difficulty in several aspects... First, the detective, Sherlock Holmes..."
"...Noah's Ark won't let him die, but it won't let him appear in front of you easily...Then there's the lawyer, Naruhodō Ryunosuke, whose prototype may be the real-world version of Mugen-Gun-Hitsu..."
"...I guess Noah's Ark will make Naruhodō Ryunosuke lose the qualification to enter the court, and it will also cause a person to be slandered as Jack the Ripper, creating a new lawyer character to enter..."
"...You need to find out who this lawyer is...After the detective and the lawyer, there is the prosecutor...The original prosecutor was Baroque Vanzix, my former comrade..."
"...Then there's Asougi Ichima, who is a close friend of Naruhodō Ryunosuke and a current trainee prosecutor... He's very likely working undercover alongside the mastermind... I'm not sure of the details..."
"…Finally, there are the judges and the police…These two positions that decide the final outcome of the case and the final progress of the investigation are bound to have problems, just like the prosecutors, and there is a high probability that problems have already occurred…"
"... Be wary of any officer-type characters that appear during this period, whether they are from the police station or the chief judge..."
When Hosou Reito said this, he was hinting at something, almost pointing at Gina and saying that there was something wrong with the officer who was parachuted into the Scotland Yard police station and who currently trusted Gina.
Regardless of Gina's next reaction, he just leaned back and his tone became somewhat relaxed.
"Now, it's time for you to take action. Gina, considering our previous friendship, I'd like to give you a piece of advice..."
"You should leave too, otherwise, something you don't want to see might happen next."
...something I don't want to see?
Gina Lestrade lifted her hat and looked at Dr. Baosheng in front of her suspiciously.
Wow——————
The door of the ward was opened, and Conan took Haibara Ai and left without hesitation.
His decisiveness made Gina a little confused.
Could it be that the complaints that Baosheng Reito just said gave them some new inspiration?
thump.
The ward door closed quietly and locked with a click.
Baosheng Reito closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened his eyes again, there was an extra person in front of the bed.
The other person was wearing a cloak and a half-covered white mask, and his outline looked vaguely familiar.
"...I thought you would bring your Demon Hunting Knife."
Dr. Baosheng said lightly.
"Professor, let's be frank. Do you think you can win?"
“…We will win.”
The masked man called "Professor" replied.
Creak——————The ward door was pushed open again.
boom.
As Officer Gina Lestrade watched, a shooting occurred in front of her.
Chapter 532: Source Flow Magic?
"…What is this, a game CG?"
Conan, who was lying in an empty ward somewhere in the corridor and observing through the small gap in the ward door, complained.
What Housheng Reito said just now was obviously telling him that Noah's Ark would be killed in the next plot.
[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name, Taiwan Novel Network → twkan.com]
If the two game players don't leave, there is a high probability that they will be killed together by the plot.
If Gina doesn't leave, it'll just be another CG scene, like she'll be a witness to a murder...
Although this is the truth, Conan feels that some things don't have to be done according to the pace of the game.
Well, he squatted at the crack of the door to see who was going to shoot him. As soon as the other party appeared, he threw an anesthetic needle over.
By then, the cocoon game will be speed-run, and all diseases will be cured. Why would there be any need for any unnecessary steps of reasoning?
Unfortunately, just as he and Haibara Ai walked out of the room and hid in the ward, they heard gunshots from the ward.
Then there was Officer Gina, who was supposed to be in the ward but appeared outside the ward for no apparent reason...
"Detective, did you see the gunman clearly?"
Haibara Ai stood aside, her tone was cold, but she probably wasn't angry.
According to Conan's judgment, the other party would not be angry because he pushed him aside and could not see the plot CG.
Therefore, the Death God Elementary School Student just sighed and then shook his head.
"Nothing at all. All you can see is the gunman wearing a cape and what looks like a half-mask covering his face."
